The strange southern god has King Olaf embraced<br>
<br>
And struck out at Thor in the temple,<br>
And to all our old gods he has closed Norway's doors,<br>
To Odin and Freya and Thor,<br>
Odin and Freya and Thor<br>
<br>
The foul Saxon priests, they wander our land<br>
<br>
Their conquest great as any war,<br>
With a book in their left, and our King at right hand<br>
I'll pray to great One-eye no more,<br>
Pray to great One-eye no more.<br>
<br>
Now I've a stout ship and a full crew of men<br>
<br>
But I'll to deep sea go no more,<br>
No, I'll not raise a sail, and I'll not ship an oar<br>
Without Odin and Freya and Thor,<br>
Odin and Freya and Thor.<br>
<br>
The new Christian god with our words we obey<br>
<br>
But our minds are the same as before,<br>
And deep in our hearts the old temples remain<br>
For Odin and Freya and Thor,<br>
Odin and Freya and Thor.<br>
